PGA instructor Chris Ryan breaks down a common flaw at impact: keeping the shoulders closed and head too far back. He explains how proper shoulder alignment and forward pressure shift allow for maximum power, a forward low point, and better angle of attack.
Shoulder alignment at impact should be square to slightly open, not closed.
Keeping weight back and shoulders closed prevents the low point from moving forward, causing a flip.
Shifting weight forward allows you to put maximum pressure and compression into the golf ball.
